The Willow Border was built to protect the Dragon's Rise and hinder population movement. It was not until 1860 that the Qing government abolished the Willow Border in order to increase tax revenue for the development of Northeast China, thus opening up the way for immigrants to cross the Guandong Pass.
Around 300 BC, the State of Yan subdued the Donghu, established five counties, and built the Great Wall. Shenyang belonged to the Liaodong County of the State of Yan and was included in the territory of the Central Plains for the first time. The history of Shenyang's city building began at this time.
In 222 BC, Qin conquered Yan and unified the country. In 221 BC, Qin issued an edict to unify weights and measures, and engraved the edict with the words "26 years" on the official measuring instruments and promoted them as standard instruments. The museum has an inconspicuous small pottery fragment with the inscription of "26 years" on it, witnessing this important history.
In 37 BC, Goguryeo was established. From 400 to 600 AD, this ancient nation in the mountains and valleys built a city and lived in Shenyang. The Shitaizi Mountain City Ruins are located on the north bank of the Qipanshan Reservoir. The plane is slightly triangular, with city walls, enemy towers, and city gates. Pottery, ironware, building components, weapons, etc. were unearthed.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the Goguryeo regime was destroyed and Liaodong was unified by the Tang Dynasty.
The Liao Dynasty ruled according to customs, and divided the Han and the Tibetans. The Khitans were governed by the national system, and the Han people were treated by the Han system.
The Wuque Jingguang Relic Pagoda has 13 stone boxes, with 4959 characters in regular script engraved all over. It was engraved in the 13th year of Chongxi in Liao Dynasty (1044). The name of Shenzhou first appeared in this stone box.
The Ming Dynasty implemented a management system different from that of the Central Plains in the Northeast, a military-political integration of the Wei system. The Jurchens and the Mongols plundered each other, and Shenyang Zhongwei became the frontier of the northern defense line of the Ming Dynasty, with an outstanding military position.
In 1388 in the Ming Dynasty, Shenyang Zhongwei commanded Min Zhong to rebuild Shenyang City, and the brick wall began at this time. After the reconstruction, the military defense capability of Shenyang City was greatly enhanced.
In 1621, the Jurchens captured Shenyang. In 1625, the Later Jin moved its capital to Shenyang, which became the ruling center of the two emperors in the early Qing Dynasty.
During the military confrontation between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty, Shenyang's political status rose strongly. The Later Jin Dynasty occupied Shenyang, moved the capital there, built a palace, planned the imperial city, changed the country's name to Qing, and Shenyang became Shengjing from then on.

Shenyang Liu Laogen Stage is located in the bustling area of Zhongjie, with convenient transportation; the actors perform witty and interesting, with real kung fu; the two-and-a-half-hour program is compact and orderly, worth watching.
I have never been to Liu Laogen's stage to see the performance. This year, I accompanied my father to see the video of Benshan. My father loved to watch the video of Benshan. I bought two tickets on the platform. The fare starts at 480 and the most expensive 880. I feel festive when I look at Liu Laogen at the gate. He is different every day to perform the artist, so catch up with who is who, there are a lot of people to see the show, the seat inside is almost full of me, this performance is really interesting, watching our group of audience haha music. They are all the actors I have seen on TV. They are all very good. It feels more interesting than going home to watch TV. There are two people to perform. It is also very suitable for bringing the elderly. It is not bad. In the future, there will be friends from other places to Shenyang to take him to see.

The trip to Shenyang was decided suddenly, and the main destination was Qinghe Peninsula!
The duplex villa we booked was nice and clean, and the housekeeper Xiaolu was meticulous and considerate.
It was very spacious for a whole family, and Xiaobao ran around like crazy~
The breakfast at Qingfeng Restaurant was as rich as always. For dinner, I personally think that the a la carte menu is more cost-effective than the set menu. You can order what you like, and the food is delicious. The best dish was the beef stew with tomatoes.
There is no need to say more about playing. We didn’t play enough, surfing, rafting, and the kids’ favorite bubbles. The night view of the infinity pool is really beautiful.
Qinghe Peninsula, see you next time🥰
Qinghe Peninsula, Shenyang people's own Disney, the first floor is a water park with various amusement areas, as well as outdoor swimming pools, rafting pools, wave pools, etc. The second floor is mainly hot springs, which also has a large indoor and outdoor area. The third floor is a restaurant, and the fourth floor is a rest area. The overall feeling is that the place is very large, and the service is a little bit behind because there are too many people.

👨🏻 As a first-time tourist in Shenyang, Zhongjie gave me a shock far beyond expectations. This century-old shopping street is like a three-dimensional urban epic, where the historical heritage and modern vitality are perfectly symbiotic. 🏬 stepping into the official bureau alley, bluestone road, Chinese lanterns and retro signs outline the old shadow of Shengjing; Around the corner, meet the dragon-shaped installation of Anta shops, Li Ning's national tide window, modern art and traditional culture collide sparks. The European-style buildings of Shenyang Commercial City are warm in the night, and the non-legacy sugar painting stalls in the alley are interesting, and one step at a time is a vivid footnote of the "old and modern dialogue". 🥩 The dumpling stuffed dumplings of the old side dumpling restaurant bite the juice, and the non-legacy skills bloom on the tip of the tongue; The ice cream milk in the middle street ice point city is mellow, with a retro environment - if you cross the 90s; The grilled salmon and sugar gourds in the alley coexist with the creative cuisine in the mall. The collision of traditional flavors and innovative cuisines allows the taste buds to travel freely for a hundred years. The light and shadow corridors in the middle street: red lanterns and neon intertwined, and the crowds under the archway surged. Cartoon sculptures add fairy tale colors. The fireworks in the alley and the lanterns in the commercial building render the nightlife of Shengjing warm and warm, and each photo is a fresh slice of the charm of the city.
The landmark building of Shenyang Zhongjie is ancient. It is a place that must be punched in Shenyang. It is suitable for parents and children, couples, family outings, Forbidden City, Grand Shuai Mansion, Zhongjie Pedestrian Street. Foreign tourists are welcome to come and experience it.

The scenery is nice, the park is lively, the cemetery is quiet, some monuments are well preserved, the tour guide is very good, the explanation is detailed, many details are more impressive through the explanation, this tour is cost-effective, thumbs up 👍
The May Day holiday coincided with the Flower Festival, and the scenery was beautiful. Coupled with the elegant charm of the park itself, it was very pleasant to take a walk on the willow bank in the morning. The ticket price was 5 yuan, which was very worthwhile. There was a tram in the park, which made it convenient for the elderly to enjoy the sea of tulips.
